You will be happy to know that this bug has been found and apparently
fixed in the newest Athena release of GNU Emacs. The problem was that
the GNU Emacs selection code predated some of the newer X window system
Inter-Client-Commiunication-Conventions.
I am sorry it took so long to reply to your bug report. This message is
being CC'd to bugs so that our bug tracking system may declare the bug
closed.
